Way of Kings is a tough read initially because he's introducing all these new characters and the world. Once everything settles, you'll notice how quickly it picks up and the focus on Kaladin. Sanderson's plan for the series is that each novel focuses on a different character (as /u/TheGuyThatsMeh ) mentioned. If you look at the Wiki page it mentions who is the planned focus for each book.
